Can I Put The The "Tip" Part of an Apex Barrel on a Different Better Barrel?

Question

I Bought a BT BT-4 ERC A little bit ago and ive used it and its pretty nice. But i've read that the Barrel itself on the apex is bad and I heard that you could remove the tip and put it on another Barrel. Does Anyone know if that is true? Cause Id like to Just take the apex tip off and put it on a better barrel.

Answer 1

Yes you can.  Depending on the barrel you plan to replace the stock one with, you may have to do some modifications to make the tip fit nice and snug.  Some manufacturers offer barrels and barrel adapters that allow you to put the tip on specific barrels.

Answer 2

You can buy a new apex tip and mount it on a barrel specifically made for it, or you can modify it with take and possibly some drilling/set screws to fit on any barrel. I'm not sure if you can just take it off the barrel you buy.
